Our Story
Jingi Wallah - hello & welcome to Karkalla, Byron Bay
Karkalla Byron Bay is the passion project of Mindy Woods, proud Bundjalung woman of the Widjabul Wia-bul clan.
Featuring locally sourced, seasonal produce and native indigenous ingredients, ‘Karkalla’ is a nod to Mindy’s indigenous heritage as a proud indigenous woman.
Mindy returned to country to follow her dreams of opening her own venue in Byron Bay, fuelled by a desire to create opportunities for indigenous and non-indigenous people to connect with Aboriginal culture, art and stories through food and to increase indigenous representation in both the hospitality and agricultural sectors.
Mindy would like to acknowledge & pay her respects to the traditional custodians of the land, sky and sea, the indigenous people of Australia and our elders past, present & emerging.
Booglebah.
JINGI WALLAH
Karkalla reflects the essence we believe to be truly Australian- coastal, sun kissed, relaxed, and most importantly generous.
We are known and loved for our relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, love of locally sourced seasonal produce and celebration of native indigenous food.
Welcome locals, travellers, families, and friends alike.
We respectfully acknowledge the past and present traditional owners of the land the Indigenous people of Australia and respect their culture and identity which has been interwoven with the land, sky and sea for generations.
